American Pie Actress Jasmine Mooney Spends Two Weeks in ICE Detention Facility
The post American Pie Actress Jasmine Mooney Spends Two Weeks in ICE Detention Facility appeared first on Consequence.
Jasmine Mooney, a Canadian citizen who appeared in 2009 film American Pie Presents: The Book of Love, spent nearly two weeks in an ICE detention center after being detained at the Mexican border earlier this month.
According to San Diego's ABC 10 News, Mooney was arrested after attempting to enter the US through a border crossing in San Ysidro, Mexico. As she recounted in an interview, her US work visa was initially revoked in November 2024 due to a paperwork issue. At the advice of her lawyer, she recently traveled to Mexico with proof of a new job offer from a US-based company and an application for a new work visa.
Instead, Mooney was arrested by immigration officials and held at a detention center where 'I was put in a cell, and I had to sleep on a mat with no blanket, no pillow, with an aluminum foil wrapped over my body like a dead body for two and a half days,' she told ABC 10 News.
Mooney was later transferred to another detention facility to Arizona, a process during which she spent '24 hours wrapped in chains.'
After nearly two weeks in captivity, Mooney was finally allowed to return home to Canada this past Saturday. Even now, she says has yet to be given an exact reason for her lengthy detainment.
In a statement, a spokesperson for ICE told CBS News that Mooney was processed in accordance with Donald Trump's immigration policies: 'All aliens in violation of U.S. immigration law may be subject to arrest, detention and, if found removable by final order, removal from the U.S., regardless of nationality,'

Hip Mexican restaurant brings another late-night spot to Southeast Portland
PORTLAND, Ore. () — Late-night Mexican eats and cocktails are on the menu for a hip Southeast Portland eatery updating its weekend hours. Located on 2832 SE Belmont St., is now open from 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. The business originally closed at 10 p.m. nightly. Portland Diamond Project's stadium funding bill heads for House vote Owner Lucy De León — whose parents founded Salsas Locas, previously known as Tortilleria Y Tienda DeLeon's — said she has wanted to extend the hours for 'a while' since . 'We wanted to create a space where people can unwind and celebrate summer, especially on the weekend,' De León told KOIN 6. 'We just feel like [in] Portland, you know there's always a shift of energy in summer.' La Patroncita's food menu will be more limited past 10 p.m., when it will only serve customers over 21. The eatery will still offer small bites like chips and guacamole, shrimp ceviche, beef or cheese-stuffed flautas and pink churros — and the owner said chefs will remain 'open' to making other dishes, as long as the kitchen has the needed ingredients. The restaurant's dinner menu additionally includes nachos, quesabirria, tacos and even churro cheesecake. Thirsty guests can still look forward to a full bar. The eatery's summer cocktail menu includes beverages inspired by the flavors Mexican people 'grew up with,' like hibiscus and tamarind, according to De León. Beer and wine will be available as well. St. Johns Bizarre seeks alternative options for lighting that could 'diminish' event The restaurateur said the business also plans to host local talent, such as DJs and other artists, during its late-night service. 'It's important for us to be supporting our creative community, and it's part of our mission, too. We invite everyone to come and experience, you know, our space and our flavors and music and the magic of La Patroncita,' she said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Yukon Public Libraries introduces summer reading passport
June 13 is the last day of school for most students across the territory. As kids spill out the doors of schools and into the sunshine, the Yukon Public Libraries is introducing an initiative to make sure they don't leave their books behind. For the first time, Yukon Public Libraries is launching the Summer Reading Passport Program across all 15 libraries in the territory: the English-language passports are available at the Whitehorse library, and will be arriving at community libraries in the coming days. There will also be French language passports available. The passport looks akin to the Canadian passport, dimension-wise, said Drew Whittaker, the public programs librarian with Yukon Libraries. Inside, artwork done by local artist Dan Bushnell adorns the stamp pages, inspired by Yukon nature and wildlife, Whittaker said. Interested children will be given passports and be encouraged to come up with a summer reading goal in consultation with their families, he said. 'Maybe it's about numbers of books, but it doesn't have to go numbers of books,' Whittaker said. 'Maybe it's about the type of books that kids want to read, and it's also there's a chance for kids to kind of reflect on reading something new…' The librarian will sign off on a child's reading goal, and stamp the reader's passport as they move towards their goal, he said. 'They take their passport with them. They check out books. They read, read, read all summer long, books from the library, books from home, books from those small community library boxes. They read comic books. They just read as much as they can. They keep track of it, loosely. Keep track, and then they get their passport stamped at any Yukon Public Library location,' he said. Aside the gift of reading, children will also receive a medal at summer's end to reward them for their reading, Whittaker said. All 15 libraries will hold a community event to honour those that have achieved their reading goals, he said. Reading is a radical and revolutionary thing, Whittaker said. It preserves and shares information with others across space and time, he added. 'The value of reading to children is about interacting with their world, is about deeper, enriching experiences with their world. It's about being able to share, communicate their ideas. It's about opening their lives into human creative processes, of which, writing, discussing, debating, is part of our intellectual human existence,' he said. Reading and writing are also important for a child's future, be it education or employment, he said. A good foundation in literacy is connected to better life outcomes, he said. This is the first year the program is running, although previous years have seen similar programs imported from outside the Yukon, said Whittaker. Whittaker said creating a made-in-Yukon version was discussed for years. 'We like the made-in-Yukon approach. We are a different place. I think we're very keenly aware of how, of the differences up here, and often think like, oh yeah, we can do it. We can do our own and it'll be better,' he said. 'Libraries are institutions that are constantly changing, with changing technology and changing community needs. So you know, we're always keen to, like, look at our programs and see if they need a tweak or a change or an overhaul.' Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request.

'Clash of the Cans' mural contest transforms empty lot in Holyoke
HOLYOKE – The Beyond Armour Yard lot on Race and Main streets will come alive with creativity as artists compete in the 'Clash of the Cans' mural contest, while visitors enjoy the interactive BeND sculpture, offering a blend of art and play. Beyond Walls, in collaboration with the city of Holyoke, Mayor Joshua A. Garcia, and local groups, is leading the transformation of the empty lot at Race and Main streets into the vibrant, art-filled space. The event runs until June 14 and promises family fun with art, food and music. The project features six large shipping containers decorated by muralists like Golden 305, Ruben Ubiera, Micaela Levesque, Michael Rice, Corey Pane, Brian Wentworth and Holyoke-based artist Repo09. Besides the murals, the new outdoor space will have areas for refreshments, a flexible setup for future events, and BeND, an interactive sculpture that offers seating, a canopy and a play area. The container 'park' is a semi-permanent installation, secured through a two-year agreement with the city of Holyoke. Funding for this project came from a Mass Development Creative Catalyst Grant, Holyoke Gaming Restitution Funds and the Carlos Vega Social Justice Fund. On June 14, from 5-8 p.m., there will be a free event called 'Clash of the Cans' with live painting, food from Crave Restaurant, beer from White Lion Brewing, and music by local DJs. Residents are encouraged to watch artists race to complete their murals and interact with the community.
